Ep. 278: The Truth About DHEA and Your Thyroid (No One’s Telling You This)

Curious about supplements that promise to “fix” your hormones?

In this episode, we take a closer look at DHEA—often called the “anti-aging hormone”—and whether it actually lives up to the hype for people with thyroid conditions. You’ll learn what DHEA does in your body, why levels naturally decline with age, and how it connects to other key hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

But here’s where it gets interesting: while some people with hypothyroidism may have lower DHEA levels—and even share symptoms like fatigue and low libido—the science is still far from clear. We break down what the research really says (and doesn’t say), who might benefit, and the surprising risks you need to know before trying it.

🎧 Listen now, if you’ve ever wondered whether DHEA could boost your energy, mood, or thyroid function. This Paloma deep dive will help you separate fact from fiction—and make smarter, safer decisions about your health.
